Jon
Jones has been suspended indefinitely by the New Jersey State
Athletic Control Board after suffering a broken big toe on his left
foot at UFC
159.

NJSACB legal counsel Nick Lembo informed Sherdog.com of the UFC 159
medical suspensions on Saturday night. Jones’ suspension will stand
until his foot is cleared by an orthopedic physician.

UFC 159 took place at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., and saw
Jones successfully defend his light heavyweight title against
Chael
Sonnen in the evening’s main event, grounding his foe and
firing away with ground-and-pound until referee Keith
Peterson halted the contest with 27 seconds left in the first
round. Sonnen received a 45-day suspension due to a facial
laceration.

Co-headliner Alan
Belcher was also handed an indefinite suspension by the NJSACB
after he was accidentally poked in the eye by Michael
Bisping in their middleweight showdown. Belcher, who dropped a
technical decision to the Brit, must now receive ophthalmological
clearance of his right eye before he can compete again.

Fourteen fighters in total were medically suspended, including main
card competitors Phil Davis
and Jim
Miller, who joined Jones and Belcher with indefinite
suspensions. While Davis took a clear-cut unanimous decision from
Vinny
Magalhaes, he must now nevertheless receive medical clearance
on his left knee and thumb. Meanwhile, Miller must undergo a CT
scan on his head and will sit out a minimum of 60 days to recover
from his hard-fought technical submission defeat to Pat Healy.
